Other dragons . . .

Were those flying creatures that the Ring Wraiths used in The Two Towers dragons? They looked more like wyverns to me. Also, I thought Smaug was the last dragon on Middle Earth. 😕

Wyverns?

No, I don't think Smaug was the last. I think he was just one of the more powerful.

they're not dragons..that's for sure..what they really are i have to open my great book again too find out!

hmm..why was i under the impression that smaug was the last...probably didn't read to carefully

smaug was the last......

Hmm, I have a great book too. I'll check too, Mujaffa...

All it says is "flying beasts". Odd...

no dragons defenatly no dragons
if they had to be dragons, which would be wrong according to the book,
THEY SUCKED

No no no, not a dragon! The name of the flying mounts of ther Nazguls escapes me but I will ask my brother ASAP.

okie good THX ush

I think they are only ever referred to as "Fell Beasts"

not 100 % but about 60/70 %

There's a section in the 1st chapter of the FOTR where Gandalf tells Frodo that "dragon-fire could melt and consume the Rings of Power, but there is not now any dragon left on earth in which the old fire is hot enough; nor was there ever any dragon, not even Ancalagon the Black, who could have harmed the One Ring, the Ruling Ring, for that was made by Sauron himself" I take that to mean that while there are still dragons, there aren't any really powerful ones. I don't know if that helps or makes things more confusing.

well that line by gandalf *is* a bit confusing

Well, Smaug is pretty small fry compared to the Dragons of old in Middle Earth.

Gandalf said that Dragon fire could destroy the ring. Unfortunately, there aren't any dragons left in Middle Earth. Or otherwise this would be a really short book. 😂

Maybe Tiamat could've blew Sauron's ass away . . . ring and all. 😂

I believe he specified that Dragon fire could NOT destroy the One Ring.

It was a joke. Tiamat is a dragon goddess from D&D. Anyway, dragons in Middle Earth are nowhere as powerful as they are in D&D.

umm....Tolkien made them more realistic, all powerfull dragons would be kinda far fetched....dragon fire could melt the rings, except not the one ring.....i think Smaug was ONE of the last dragons....and the ones left where all kinda small.....oh well....

Creatures of Morgoth and steeds of his servants, the fell beasts are winged and can fly long distances at great speed.

Blimey, I never saw DN's response there. Well, if he ever reads this again... I was not responding to your Tiamat joke, I was responding to Dejio.

Though to DN... actually, most D&D dragons pale in comparison to the Middle-Earth ones.
